Posted June 25, 201114 yr I can't change my avatar. Whenever I try to change it all that changes is the size (it takes the size of the avatar I try to add), but the image stays the same. I've tried to wait but surely you don't have to wait more than an hour ? I've also tried to delete my avatar (which works) but when I try to add the one I want then the ''Blessed'' image comes back again.. it's torturing me!!! I hope someone can help me out.
June 25, 201114 yr Author Of course there is the possibility that it won't change on my screen and everyone else can still see the change.. which is still a problem because I still wouldn't know how to fix.
June 25, 201114 yr What avatar are you trying to change it to? I'm no technical whizz but I may be able to think of something...
June 25, 201114 yr Me too! I deleted mine and uploaded a new one which showed in the profile screen but when I posted.......... the old avi was still showing :angry: The new one is in my 'edit profile' page but the old one shows when I post - what's that all about lol
June 25, 201114 yr XXXO your new one is showing for me. Not sure if slick's already helped you or if it just changed anyway. It usually takes quite a well to change.
June 25, 201114 yr Avatar changing is slow sometimes - if it gets longer than a day, let us know and we will see what we can do about it!
June 25, 201114 yr Author What avatar are you trying to change it to? I'm no technical whizz but I may be able to think of something... It's changed now! Should've been more patient I guess. Thanks y'all.
July 7, 201113 yr How long does it usually take for avatars to change over? I tried changing mine this morning and it doesn't seem different but it does if I look at the site on my ipod :lol:
July 8, 201113 yr Cookies? :lol: I am an internet novice, what are cookies? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie It's a way for websites to recognise you when you return for a repeat visit and remembering your preferences.
July 8, 201113 yr Your computer would remember the image, that you have and it can take until the cookie is renewed for it to switch over. Which is why it can be resized but still the old image.
July 25, 201113 yr Honestly, I'm also a computer novice. I met this problem once and finally figured out how the "cookies" work. Hah :dance:
December 14, 201113 yr Me too! I deleted mine and uploaded a new one which showed in the profile screen but when I posted.......... the old avi was still showing :angry: The new one is in my 'edit profile' page but the old one shows when I post - what's that all about lol I've got the same problem - just seen silas' reply. My son just said it's not the cookies it's the cache and it just replaces everything in there each time you log on. He cleared my cache and it's updated ok now. I'd be lost without him he's my techie :lol: Edited December 14, 201113 yr by munchkin
